Amazing. Although one passenger was killed, Captain Shults was able to land her crippled 737 and save the lives of the other 147 souls on board.

Wanna hear an awesome pilot story from WW2?
There was an American pilot who jumped out of his plane and shot down another plane with an M1911.
āNerves of Steelā is a pretty cliche thing to hear for stories like this, but itās absolutely true. I heard the audio of her call with air traffic controlā¦ calm doesnāt even begin to describe it! There were two explosions, loss of cabin pressure, and the plane pitched something like 40Āŗ on its sideā¦ and when the controller asked if the plane was on fire, sheās all ānah, itās not on fireā¦ but part of itās missing.ā Said while righting the plane, choosing a mid-atlantic airport to land at, and handling whatever other pilot-y technicalities pilots do. Impressive.
